Hi Jörn,
I was able to make a working ToriOS iso file according to your scripts
and instructions. They were complete :-)
I made the iso file into a hybrid iso file, so that I can boot it from
USB as well as from CD/DVD.
The size of the isofile is 498 Mibibytes and
the size of the tarball is 343 Mibibytes.
Of course ToriOS is at the alpha stage, but it is working live and
installed. I took some notes during the first testing (with Swedish
locale), but I have reinstalled into English, and right now I am
creating a tarball for the OBI-9w installer ... done.
The size of the isofile is 498 Mibibytes and
the size of the tarball is 343 Mibibytes.
When I have made an OBI-9w iso file and it has passed my tests, I will
upload the iso files for testing. I hope many of you are prepared to
test them at least in VirtualBox and compare how they work with low RAM.
- Notes -
Testing in my computer 'April-2008' with
ASUS M2N-VM motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+, 2.3 GHz (dual core)
RAM 2 GB DIMM DDR2 800 MHz
onbord nvidia graphics (geforce 7050 PV / nforce 630a), running
well with nouveau
Waiting for network configuration (at the Ubuntu Plymouth screen)
Booting without full network configuration (after 2 minutes)
JWM desktop with black background and panel at the bottom
free -m: 103 MB (in the live session)
I could run gparted an repartition a drive ...
Next time (after reboot) I did not press on the keyboard, and this
time the installer booted into a panel with a debian background and
the choice to test or install ToriOS. I started to install (with the
graphical 'desktop' installer).
The installation finished nicely ...
Next time (after reboot) I booted into the installed system, which
still waits and then boots without full network configuration
(after 2 minutes).
A log in screen and then the JWM desktop with black background and
panel at the bottom. No background picture in the insta
